If you want to grow your business or just simply take better images then
there is no better way than gaining meaningful qualifications in your field
of expertise. The process of having your images mentored – critiqued and
approved will make you self examine your work to a much higher level. You
will have the confidence to charge more for your products – services and be
prepared to undertake work, which previously may have been out of your
reach.

Start down the road of success today by joining in our mentoring programme.

Photographers often spend tens of thousands of dollars on the latest lights,
light modifiers, and lighting gadgets. As Bill hurter shows in this book,
however, they may be headed down a costly road to nowhere. Instead of
complexity, he suggests, photographers should seek simplicity. This creates
a look more "true" to portrait viewers and has come to be preferred over the
more contrived looks that were popular in previous decades. Packed with
incredible images from top photographers, this book is a critical resource
for professional photographers (and aspiring professionals who want to
create more natural portraits and get fewer headaches doing so.

At the pioneering seven day-long 2010 gathering our broad church of
professional and aspirational photographer visitors will have a truly

single speaker, so we’ve drawn a dozen of these key names out of the hat to
give you an exclusive ‘cross-section’ profile snapshot.

The business was established in 1864. I
was established a little after that but nevertheless I confess to have been
a pro here for more than forty years now. I’ve had several one man
exhibitions over the years and we’ve been fortunate enough to win numerous
awards. In addition there have been many TV and radio appearances and I was
lucky enough to be presented to The Queen - before I photographed her.
